Envisioning Your Profession

Have you wondered what a day in the life of your chosen profession might be like? For this Discussion, you will view the video presentation for your degree program plus a minimum of two additional presentations for other Kaplan School of Health Science degree programs, and then answer the questions below. You can find the degree program videos on the Reading page for this unit.

As you compose your responses to your classmates, keep in mind that in the increasingly virtual world, clear and concise email communication is of the utmost importance. In the academic world, it is your main mode of communication between your professor, your classmates, and yourself. As a professional, it may be the first impression you make with a prospective employer, so it needs to be professional, succinct, and free from errors. Respond to your classmates for this Discussion Board topic in the form of a well-formatted, professional email that includes a greeting, the body of your response, and a thoughtful signature.
